However, I'm not sure this is a bug, either: if you install libncursesw5-dev, which is where libncursesw is on Debian, the compile should just work. Since libncursesw IS provided by debian, and can easily be found via apt-cache search libncursesw (you want the -dev package for compiling programs), I'm closing this report. -- |8]
